If you've not yet found an engine, consider buying one from Japan. I bought a 7MGE for my Cressida and had it shipped for less than I could buy one at a salvage yard. It was guaranteed under 45K and runs like a dream. I've put well over 150K on it since I bought it (nagano motors). Unfortunately, Nagano doesn't do Lexus motors but there are many others. One example is www.usedjapanmotors.com, but you can just google Lexus Motors from Japan and do some research.
